Chattanooga Visitor Center
Feb 3, 2008 by Deborah Beam from Berea,Ky

Overall Rating: 10

• Friendly, impressive and very well taken care of.
• Need to have more rivers others.

“I have been to quite a few aquariums and I found yours to be the most impressive.”

Coolidge Park
Dec 31, 2007 by Heather Bass from Ooltewah, TN

Overall Rating: 4

• I like the history and brief description of the park.
• The info for events was vague including incorrect contact info.

“The history about the park is interesting, however there I saw link to a calendar of events for the park. The link provided only directs you to the city of Chattanooga with a calendar of openings for buildings or new locations (not Coolidge park related). The phone number listed as a contact for more information was also incorrect. I have three young boys who enjoy fireworks, craft shows, and other family related activities that we never hear about which occur often at Coolidge park. A travel guide insert should include more accurate information to help one plan their vacation. A calendar of events that occur throughout the year with interests for people with or without families should be available.”

Imagination Station
Nov 7, 2007 by Holly from Chattanooga, Tennessee

Overall Rating: 10

• Great imagination playground and plenty to play on!
• Not enough parking. I think.

“Imagination station was wonderful! There is a train on the tracks and one to stand on for photos. The playground is both a parent's dream as well as a child's. It is easy to pass since it is behind the library. On the left! Great place for any function.”

Southern Belle Riverboat
Oct 14, 2007 by Jeff from Chattanooga

Overall Rating: 10

• Friendly people, good food.
• You usually have to sit with another couple. It is really crowed on Saturday nights, recommend Sundays.

“I always love coming on the Riverboat the staff is friendly and the food is excellent. The band, although not the best, always plays fun music and is very entertaining. When you come onto the pier you are greeting by a huge gift shop. The prices are really reasonable compared to other attractions gift shops and it is beautiful. I have been on the Riverboat 3 or 4 times and every time it is great. The staff goes out of the way to make sure you're having a good time. The front desk even recognizes me when I come in and they greet me by name.”

Coolidge Park Carousel
Aug 25, 2007 by Sylvia from Signal Mtn

Overall Rating: 1

• Different interesting animals.
• Not accessibility for wheelchairs.

“From the point of view from a wheelchair the accessibility to get on the carousel we had to lift the wheelchair. A portable ramp would take away the safety risk and humiliation. The beauty of the hand carved animals and the building it is housed in is wonderful. The ride is fun for all ages.”

Ruby Falls
May 21, 2007 by charlie from clearwater, fl

Overall Rating: 2

• Huge groups and we have to wait long.

“The cave and falls are nice, but from my position in the herd I could not hear anything and got railroaded past the exhibit areas in a rush. Go somewhere else. If do you go, fight for a position at the front of the pack; otherwise you will be waiting with your thumb up your (anatomically explicit idiom edited partially out) while the guys up front have a rollicking good time. ”

Ruby Falls
Jul 22, 2006 by Joe

Overall Rating: 1

• Clean well kept entrance.
• Parking abysmal, worthless attraction.

“That was HORRIBLE! I can understand a move to the side policy ..in one spot we stood and had TWO groups go past. We stopped. walked a feet and stopped again. We didn't hear anything. Tens of feet ahead of us might be some nice formation, but we'd never know it. We were our feet over two hours. Most Getting to the 'falls'. Your groups are too large. 50ish people ( I counted each group passing by us the variance was 47 to 58 ) means most don't get to see/hear what's going on. We get to stop on a regular basis and wait.. At the climax, the falls, the show was well into it before the back third entered the cavern. I and those with me didn't go around the falls because the guide was telling us we needed to go for the next group. As the last of the three Lookout Mtn visits we had hoped it would be the cap to a nice day Instead it was the confirmation of how tourist traps are run. Double the 1 hr time frame. Pathetic and obvious to end the tour in front of the 'tipping' sign to yet again have us stand and wait to even enter the elevator Queue and THEN, booting us out two floors above the exit ..blocking us until the sales pitch is finished.”

Ruby Falls
Jan 3, 2006 by Matt

Overall Rating: 4

• The falls were very nice to view.
• The rest of the experience.

“The falls were very fun to look at, but it was overly dramatic once reaching the point. There was a lot of music and they switched the colors of the lights during viewing, which was rather distracting. The elevator situation was very uncomfortable. They cram as many people as possible into the elevator. Also, it was very annoying having to move to the side of the "trail" to let others pass by. There were many tight places that made passing others virtually impossible. Also, there are no bathrooms. Adults usually do not have a problem with this, but with small children, it makes taking this trip difficult.”

Tennessee Aquarium
Jan 3, 2006 by Matt

Overall Rating: 9

• Very informational and fun for all ages.
• The second building is not up to par compared to the initial building.

“This was a great experience. However, the second building was a bit of a let down. It a large building, but it is all focused on a large tank in the center of the building. I like how the older building is set up much more than the new one.”
